Marauder

Gay and Depressed in Prison

3rd place entry in Corgi's Gaybellion Contest

In this game, you play a very familiar character from the previous Gay and Depressed stories, who is now in jail. You used to be a side character in other people's stories, but now the spotlight is finally yours in this Gay and Depressed spin-off!

If you're interested in some more Gay and Depressed story games, check out the original by queenlatifah04, Gay Old Time by Darius_Conwright, Gay and DepressedER!!! by fresh_out_of_the_oven, and Gay and Depressed: The snow bunny society by Benholman44. All of the "gay and depressed" stories are stand-alone stories, so each one can be read separately, but I highly recommend you check these stories out!

1. yeah, just wait until judging is over. Now that the results have been published, you can take your story down and edit it. 2. yeah sure, just try not to spam too much and you'll be fine

1. I wanted to recommend the best short storygames on the site, since I've had experiences where I've recommended longer stories to noobs, and it may be a tossup on whether they check them all out. I don't want to intimidate them, and I guess without knowing their age/how much they're willing to read, I was staying on the safe side. Plus, these stories kind of give a small taste of your guys' writing style. I'm sure they'll like these, so once they come back, I'll point them to Agent of Order, Sherb's interconnected horror stories, and Polaris, Mission Sunshine, and Eros, since I think they're very fun and awesome! 2. I forgot lol. Just fixed it. I wrote down the full title for the first 3 games, but "The life and death of the pinball wizard" was pretty long to write, and for some reason, I didn't think to copy paste. So I just typed out "Pinball wizard", and then sent the post. 3. I don't know. But it is wicked fun and offers hours of joy(if you can play that long and not die)!

Welcome to the site, Micah! If you like to read stories, we're actually doing a small little short story contest right now! Here's the link: https://chooseyourstory.com/forums/creative-corner/message/30898 If you're interested, read stories A,B, and C, and then vote on which one you like best! It looks like you figured out how to change your profile picture, good job! All that's left is for you to check out some stories, and start writing your own. Best of luck! Here are a few recs for storygames that I hope you'll enjoy: If you're looking for something short and quick: Mole by Sherbet: https://chooseyourstory.com/story/mole Kobold Kebabs by Mizal https://chooseyourstory.com/story/kobold-kebabs Warden by Sherbet: https://chooseyourstory.com/story/warden Pinball Wizard by MHD: https://chooseyourstory.com/story/the-life-and-death-of-the-pinball-wizard

Thanks for necroing this thread. Once you redo and remaster the songs, I feel like I want to reread all these stories with each of the soundtracks playing in the background, that would be pretty epic.

Thanks for reviving the thread, bhp! I'll add another quote from a book that I thought was particularly striking, at least for me. I think Chris and a few other Blood Meridian fans will enjoy this one. It's one of the coolest giant run on sentences I've seen in literature, and to me, it's kind of equal to the "Hate" monologue from "I have no mouth". Till this point in the book, I thought that this was going to be a regular Western, but this specific sentence marked a drastic shift, and now Blood Meridian is almost split up into 2 parts for me: Before "Legion of Horribles" and After "legion of horribles". Because at this point of the book, the characters are part of this marauding band venturing into Mexico to fight Mexicans, but they get attacked by a Comanche war band. And this sentence basically describes the Comanche warriors, with imagery that's really imaginative, wild, and pretty disturbing. Anyways, here's the sentence that I thought was really cool, if a bit grimdark, so I guess if you're particularly young, or especially susceptible to disturbing imagery, don't read this: "A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools." - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian.

Dude, this is awesome! I'm really excited to see your foray into Fantasy. The title sounds incredibly promising. How'd you get the idea? Thanks again!

Congrats everyone! This was a really cool contest, and I'm so pleased that we got 7 cool new Edutainment stories! Special props to Mystic! Congrats on winning, Constellaris Court is a jewel of the edutainment category, and such a cool story. I love the amount of effort you put into each and every story you write, and it's just wonderful. Congrats to Will, Orange, Cat, and Lim. Forming the top 5 of the Edutainment contest, each of your stories is so different and interesting. And special shout out to Liminal, as he published his first story! Will, Orange, and Cat, you guys are all seasoned veterans who have more than proved your mettle many times over, so major props. Congrats to Avo and Wildblue as well. Avo, you put in a ton of effort, and really showed up in an extraordinary way. I love your discipline and focus, and I think the fact that you never procrastinate or turn anything in late means that you have what it takes to become a great writer. Next contest, you're going to do wonderful. Wildblue, can't wait to see your religion game. For a last minute shitpost, What to Boil First was funny. I like that you refused to give up, and showed a level of grit and perseverance by turning something in even on the last day. I really do want to see your real game though. This was a really great contest, and I'm really glad I was able to be a part of it. I think we have successfully brought the edutainment category back to life, and I can't wait to see Cavus's and Petros's games. Along with mine, which should be coming out whenever I sit down and hammer out the rest of it.

Just finished Mystic's story. Wow! She did a phenomenal job with this one. The 89k words flowed like water!

Sounds good! Shoot me a message if you have any specific questions on rites, practices, and what we believe in.

Your game sounds cool Wildblue! If you're including Hinduism in the game, and have any questions about it or want to talk to someone who is Hindu, I'd be happy to chat! Sorry you withdrew from the contest though, but I get it. Real life comes first. Still, don't give up on the game, we don't have any games that discuss the world religions, so this has the potential to be great!
